process

My work process

How I go from problem to production. Git strategy, testing philosophy, and yes — AI as a tool, with intention.

git

Git workflow

Branching strategy I use to keep a clean and collaborative history in my projects.

git log --oneline --graph

Atomic commits

Each commit represents a complete logical change. I use `git commit --amend` to keep the history clean before push.

Branch strategy

Short feature branches (max 2-3 days). Merge to develop with squash. Release branches for QA.

Code review

Every merge to develop goes through PR with at least one review. I use conventional commits for automatic changelogs.

How I integrate AI into my workflow

Tools and techniques I use to increase my productivity without compromising code quality.

Gentle AI

tool I use

Ecosystem configurator for AI coding agents. One command installs and syncs Claude Code, OpenCode and more with persistent memory, spec-driven development and per-phase model assignment.

Prompt engineering for architecture

I use language models to explore architectural trade-offs, generate initial database schemas, and document technical decisions (ADRs).

AI ecosystem configuration

I use Gentle AI to configure Claude Code with persistent memory (Engram), SDD workflow and per-phase model assignment — one command, any project.

Review and refactoring

Code analysis to detect code smells, refactoring suggestions, and unit test generation as a starting point.
